hi all,

Upsert is usually defined [1] in reference to a violating a unique key:

Insert, if unique constraint violation then update; or update, if not found then insert.

Is this theoretically preferable to just looking for a row that matches certain criteria, updating it if found or inserting otherwise?

what happens when two connections do this more or less concurrently, in transactions?
